Broken In Pieces
[Intro]
His photographs lay in pieces
scattered like confetti,
all over her wooden floor...
She switched out the light,
put on a record,
turned the key to the bedroom door.
He is no longer there, the pain and despair,
are all that remain now that he has gone.
[Pre-Chorus]
Memories remain in the music she plays,
He lives on, in the words of their song.
[Chorus]
when the tears subside,
and the intensity gradually decreases
It may still not repair the hole in her heart,
or mend a life that is broken in pieces.
[Verse]
The numbness inside,
the derision that resides
in the tears that stained her sheets
Is all that’s left,
The slow resignation,
that her romantic flirtation,
Had disappeared without a trace
Clearly evidenced by the torn picture fragments,
and the lines upon her face
[Chorus]
when the tears subside,
and the intensity gradually decreases
It may still not repair the hole in her heart,
or mend a life that is broken in pieces.
[Interlude]
In times of distress,
the most welcome guest,
can be a mother’s comforting arms
Parental endurance,
provides comforting reassurance,
and a soothing emotional balm
[Chorus]
when the tears subside,
and the intensity gradually decreases
It may still not repair the hole in her heart,
or mend a life that is broken in pieces.
when the tears subside,
and the intensity gradually decreases
It may still not repair the hole in her heart,
or mend a life that is broken in pieces.
